LET­TERS TO THE EDI­TOR POL­ICY

The West­side Eagle Ob­server in­vites and en­cour­ages let­ters from its read­ers. All let­ters must in­clude the au­thor’s com­plete name and an ad­dress and tele­phone num­ber for ver­i­fi­ca­tion pur­poses. Let­ters must not con­tain li­belous or slan­der­ous state­ments or pro­fan­ity. The edi­tor re­serves the right to edit or con­dense let­ters as re­quired by space lim­i­ta­tions and to re­ject any let­ter deemed un­wor­thy of pub­li­ca­tion. Let­ters should be leg­i­ble, prefer­ably type­writ­ten and dou­ble-spaced or sent by email. Please limit let­ters to 250 words. No let­ters per­tain­ing to a bal­lot is­sue will be pub­lished dur­ing a 48-hour pe­riod prior to an election. No let­ters per­tain­ing to an in­di­vid­ual can­di­date will be pub­lished.
